        I am so terribly sorry for Jaesan's behavior! I can't believe she chased Tae-geun all the way back home from school - while threatening to kill him at that! Luckily your son runs fast ... there is no excuse for her behavior and I assure you she will be scolded accordingly.

        I am simply flabbergasted and cannot make heads or tails of the situation as Jaesan refuses to speak about it. Maybe you have more luck with Tae-geun at your end.

        I regret to inform that my child is equally as uncooperative as yours. However I have collected some papers at the crime scene which give me insight into what has transpired.

        I would like to suggest hosting the birthday party in a more neutral location, as well as outsource the catering. Perhaps I can drop by this evening to discuss more.

Best regards,
Hak Sang-Ook.
